Abstract
Liquid waste is temporarily received by a liquid waste receiver that is provided on a discharge path for liquid waste generated in an analyzer to a liquid waste tank. An outflow liquid receiver is arranged adjacent to the liquid waste receiver, the liquid waste receiver and the outflow liquid receiver are partitioned by a partition having a certain height, and a liquid sensor is arranged in the outflow liquid receiver. In a case where an abnormality occurs in discharging of the liquid waste, the liquid waste accumulated in the liquid waste receiver flows over the partition to flow into the outflow liquid receiver, and is detected by the liquid sensor. Because the liquid waste flows into the outflow liquid receiver only in a case where an abnormality occurs in discharging of the liquid waste, an abnormality in discharging of the liquid waste can be detected by the liquid sensor.
